As Obama arrives to save us from alleged overheating, some notes from Maryland

AFP: Crowds in Baltimore brave cold for Obama's train tour
BALTIMORE (AFP) — For the tens of thousands gathering Saturday to see president-elect Barack Obama at a pre-inaugural rally here, the mood was buoyant despite a long wait in bitter cold.
Flooding Conditions Persist - 2 More Pipe Failures Reported - Southern Maryland News
This just in: Two more pipe failures with flooding have been reported. One is again in the Valley Lane area of Lexington Park at 46563 and the second is the Brinsfield-Echols Funeral Home at 30195 Three Notch Road in Charlotte Hall.

More pipe failures are expected. Motorists are cautioned to drive carefully in the flooded areas.

Southern Maryland residents are cautioned to check all plumbing fixtures, especially those exposed to the outside air against the possibility of freezing and bursting.

Four such failures have occurred in St. Mary’s County with more expected this evening as the bitter cold arctic air continues to stall over the area.
